“Andy Warhol—From A to B and Back Again” Art Institute of Chicago 111 S Michigan Ave Sunday October 20 2019 - Sunday January 26 2020

This retrospective of Warhol's career features more than 350 works for guests to explore. Instead of focusing on a specific era of his life, “From A to B and Back Again” accounts for the entire breadth of the Pop Art legend's output, from early illustrations that were commissioned for magazines to recolored portraits of celebrities that graced the cover of Interview magazine. While there are plenty of familiar pieces on display (a print of Marilyn Monroe, several Campbell's soup cans), there are also sections of the exhibit devoted to lesser-known aspects of Warhol's practice, including performance art, television and publishing.

Filled with self-portraits, homages to vaunted brands and celebrations of fame, “From A to B and Back Again” accentuates the echoes of Warhol’s art in the contemporary world—and seeing so much of it one place only makes its prophetic themes that much clearer.

Quartino 626 N State St Chicago


I just was reminded about this place in a phone conversation. I believe it was on my last visit to the Windy City that we visited it.

I do recall it was the first time I even had dates wrapped in Pancetta! So good that we ordered them twice! If memory serves me right I had a Bolognese pasta dish. The peculiar thing is I don't remember or associate a dessert with this establishment! Could we have actually passed on dessert? Seems highly unlikely when it comes to us two.

Check it out and see what you think...

I am not a beer drinker but I do visit someone in the Windy City who is and she's informed me she's dragged me to all of theses spots which she swears by.......

Screening: Films of Andy Warhol
Art Institute of Chicago | Chicago, IL, Grant Park Jan 11 2020-Jan 12 2020

The Art Institute of Chicago's sprawling "Andy Warhol—From A to B and Back Again" exhibition showcases a variety of the artist's films, but it still only scratches the surface of Warhol's cinematic output. On January 11 and 12, visitors will be able to view more of Warhol's experimental 16mm films over the course of three screenings in the Rubloff Auditorium, including The Chelsea Girls, Lonesome Cowboys and Blow Job. The screenings are free to attend with admission to the museum, but you'll need to register if you want to make sure you'll have a seat. You can find more information about the program for each screening on the Art Institute's website.

A friend of mine in the Chicago Metro area just dined here and gave it a rave! Even tho it seems to have a somewhat limited menu in my opinion, I'll be willing to give it a try on my next trip to the Windy City!
